After nearly 30 years with the company, Matthew North, Commercial Director at renowned viscose specialty fibre manufacturer Kelheim Fibres, will retire on July 1st, 2023.

Throughout his long career, he has played a significant role in transforming Kelheim Fibres from a supplier of standard fibres to the European textile industry into a supplier of predominantly customized specialty fibres for the hygiene, specialty paper, and textile industries.

“On behalf of the entire team, I would like to express our gratitude to Matthew for his outstanding work over the past decades. His wealth of experience, calm nature, and British humor will be greatly missed. We wish him all the best for his exciting new chapter in life. At the same time, we wish Mark von der Becke and Dr. Marina Crnoja-Cosic much success in the new responsibilities they have now assumed,” said Craig Barker, Managing Director of Kelheim Fibres.

In the future, Mark von der Becke will assume the position of Sales Director and become part of the management team at Kelheim Fibres. He brings extensive experience in sales, marketing and key account management.

Dr. Marina Crnoja-Cosic, who has been serving as Director of New Business Development and part of the management team at Kelheim Fibres since 2020, will take on responsibility for marketing and communications. She will drive the further development of the marketing strategy and communication with customers and partners.
